As one of the first Indian restaurants in the UK to receive a Michelin star, Tamarind combines impeccable service with beautifully spiced dishes in an elegant, softly lit dining room. Just a short ride from major central London concert venues, it’s a go-to spot for a memorable meal before the music starts.

Why Concert-goers love it
